Don't know if anyone knows anything about either of these, but thought I'd throw them 
out anyway:

1. I see where The Last Waltz is going to become a DVD. I couldn't locate any details, 
I'm just wondering if the 'enhanced' version of this wonderful show is going to 
include any additional Joni! I hope so, obviously, as she played a great set that 
night!

2. Thanks to Gary Z. for those lyrics to "Midnight Cowboy", or "The Midnight Cowboy 
Song". As that particular 1969 film is still my favorite of all time, I can't help but 
think that the song is based on the book/movie. I'm familiar with the movie, but I 
don't know when the book came out. Nor do I know when Joni wrote the song. Perhaps it 
was solicited for the movie but not used? Harry Nilsson wrote "I Guess The Lord Must 
Be In New York City" for the film, and it wasn't used.

Anyway, Joni wrote lines that parallel almost exactly with the story of would-be 
gigolo Joe Buck. Hopefully those of you who are familiar with the Jon-Voight/Dustin 
Hoffman classic and have seen the lyrics will comment.
